If I may- I shall rant-

So- idk what teachers problems are. Because if your student is not doing their work, showing absolutely NO interest is your class, and not listening to lectures…

LEAVE THEM THE FUCK ALONE!

There is no need to call the parents. There’s no need to write them up. Literally just leave them alone! That kid doesn’t want anything to do with your class so let them fail!

Listen, you're probably not going to like hearing this, but my mom was a teacher for 20 years so I know the other side of the story.

One, administration literally makes the teachers call your parents. If you're failing, it is policy to report that to the parents. If you're not participating or paying attention or showing no interest, they have to report it to the parents. It is policy and the admin will get on them about it.
Second, they are concerned about you. They want to know if there is anything going on at home or anything they can do to help you. Teachers want you to succeed in their class.
Third, it is disrespectful. Teachers have put in the time and effort to prepare the lecture and their classrooms and doing what they can to make sure they properly educate you. There is so much work that goes on outside of the classroom. Teachers spend hours at home preparing this for you. They spend hundreds of their own dollars ont he classroom that they will not get back because the school will not fund them. it is disrespectful to the teacher to ignore them and not listen and pay attention. So yes, they will call home and inform your parents about that.

Now, i am speaking from a general standpoint. You may have just an awful teacher who doesn't care and deserves to be ranted about and it wasn't the right thing to do at the moment. I understand that. This is just a general, overall reason for it

It’s because a lot of places now heave this no kid left behind thing.
I mean, about 40 years ago, they weren’t so hard pressed to make sure the kid is successful. When my dad went to school, he never payed attention and no one tried to force him to. . .
Things are different.

Though, you should graduate high school no matter what, without a high school diploma or a GED, it makes it super hard to get a stable job.

Thins are indeed different.
No Child Left Behind, in particular, plays a huge role in this. It's now been revised to the Every Student Succeeds Act, and it has to do with how schools get federal funding. If that teacher just leaves you alone, you become part of a statistic that can lose a ton of money for that school or district. Teachers are under pressure from all sides to try and get you to succeed, even if it's clear you want nothing to do with them.

In other words, don't take it personally. Unless that teacher is just the worst kind of person, them taking all those steps has next to nothing to do with you personally. They're not out to get you.
Just out to keep their funding, or their job.

in fewer words, Youre not the problem, Eli. Rant away.

Yeah and it sucks for people like me who join the advanced classes for. . . To THE ADVANCED WORK? Yet, I noticed they let anyone in those classes as long as you have good grades, which brings down the people, again, like me, who get distracted easily, but if you explain it to them in 15 minuets they get it. And who actually have the capacity to learn the really hard stuff. And they wonder why I barely scraped by in my high school years. The advanced classes weren’t advanced anymore. It was just slightly different content.

Oh yeah. Since NCLB got revised to ESSA, standards have intentionally been lowered to make it easier for schools to keep funding. they still have quotas to meet, of course, but that's why your AP classes didn't feel all that AP

wait… davadio… since you're our grampa, how does that fit into the family tree? are you the father of either gemma or vis? cause they're the parents of most of us

And it pissed me off. Because, I’m sorry But I”m taking these class because I know I can meet that standards of an advanced class.
And then they give me this deer in head lights when I’m failing and they don’t listen when I say the work is too easy and if the teacher doesn’t tell me everything in 10-15 minuets, I’m lost and I stop paying attention.

XD This is a great question. I think 'gramps' was just a name cuz I'm old, but. also. I would claim Vis. We had good times and he'd asked me to join the chicken saga (specifically Primus de Pulvere Natus) a long time ago. so. Maybe that?
Or not.

I mean, you're giving them conflicting narratives. Your work says you're not keeping up, your words say you're beyond them, and your style of learning isn't conducive to modern classroom training.
You're a gifted kid, likely with some ADHD mixed in there from the sounds of it, and school didn't work for you. I feel that.

YuP, ADHD infused, lol.
So, in classes where there’s not much lecturing and it’s more textbook reading, I performed at an amazing rate, always had an A in the class. Such as history. But math, on the other hand, Or English, I didn’t do to well because there was a lot more lecturing. Examples are needed to be given in order to understand the topic, and my grades suffered because, unless you tell me in 10-20 min, I’m lost and couldn’t pay attention.

Oh I hear you. Former gifted kid myself. That's all spot on.

Just pointing out, in your particular case, that even an AP class with high standards likely wouldn't have sated your insatiable need to GO FAST LEARN QUICK NOW LEMME DO IT cuz it never did for me, either. To a certain degree, it's not the teacher's fault.

We're just smart kids with brains on crack is all.
